A fumble by O'Rourke pointed the way for a couple of alien counters at the outset of the opening encounter, | (v Dykes getting a life thereon and scoring on a double by Welch, who tallied_on Tilly Walker's single.

Gharrity lofted O'Rourke obtained a Texas leaguer and Acosta walked | to fill the bases, but Dykes cleverly handled Judge's rap. The tieing tally accrued in the third, when Rice tripled and after Brower walked, chased home on Miller's sacrifice fly. ‘Witt's Homer Breaks Deadlock. Witt whacked the first ball pitched In the fag end of this frame over the right-field wall. Singles by Dykes and C. Walker followed, but were nul- lified when Harris converted Johnny ‘Walker's fly into a double play. A plain muff of an easy fly by Rice| assisted the Athletics to another run in the sixth. Johnny Walker was the beneficiary, and he reached second. although Harris nearly kicked himself out of the game, contending Sam's throw beat Johnny to the midway. Walker took third on Perkins' sacri- fice_and scored, after Dugan walked, on McCann's sacrifice fly. Milan, having limped painfully to the bench after attempting to hit for Acosta in the seventh, Shaw tried his hand at pitching. Three runs result- ed, a muff by Miller, usually a deadly fly catcher, making two of them pos- sible. Witt beat a bounder to O'Rourke and was forced by Dykes, who scored, after Welch popped to Gharrity, on Tilly Walker’s triple to right. the lat- ter counting when Miller dropped J. Walker's liner, and still another tally resulting from a three-bagger Per- kins lined against the bleacher fence. One lucky single by Rice was the extent of the damage done to Moore after the third, and although the southpaw’s unsteadiness permitted four Griffs to reach the initial station, non2 got any farther, double plays twice checking them. In the ninth they had a chance to do something, when & pair of walks and Dykes' fum- ble loaded the bases with two out, but Rice succumbed to Moore's clever hurling. . Fail to Hit Moore WASHINGTON.

The advisability of using Milan as a pinch hitter. especially against a southpaw pitcher. as effective as Moore was yesterday, is not appar- ent. Zeb's charley horse is so ag: gravated he can hardly hobble. Al- though wild as a prairie flower. Moore's assortment of benders made the Griffmen look weak at bat. Shanks’ single was the only untar- nished hit he yielded. Rice's triple, although hard hit, was misjudged by Welch and Sam's one-sacker took a lucky bound over Dyke's head. O'Rourke’s bingle was a Texas leaguer just a little too far in for Welch to .reach. Miller's consecutive streak ended at nineteen games" when he suc- cumbed to Moore's prowess. Rice boosted his string to twenty-three by connecting safely in both com- bats. Miller also went hitless in the nightcap. Johnny Walker took a header over the pavilion railing in getting Shanks’ foul in the second battle. The con- verted catcher has done fine work at the initial station since Frank Bra- zill was hurt. Plcinich appeared back of the bat for the first time in_many a day. He did a good job of receiving, but looked unimpressive at bat. Turkey Brower may be gi little time off to search for His mis: laid batting eye. The Virginian now has gone through five games with- way, Judge, Harris, 0’Rourke, Brower and Schacht all being sraduates of the Fults circuit. PIRATES WIN N EEGHTH Bunch Hits for Three Tallies Off Meadows—Will Replay Part of May 28 Game With Reds. A three-run rally, staged at the ex- pense of Lee Meadows in the eighth inning, was enough to give the league- leading Pirates a 3 to 2 victory over the tail-end Phillies yesterday in the Natianal League.

The Pirates did not fare well with the eastern clubs on their first invasion of the west. Of the sixteen games played. Gibson’s men won nine and lost seven. Tl‘le most disastrous series was that with the runner-up Giants, who cap- tured three of four games. As a result of a ruling by President Heydler, the Pirates may turn one of .| their losses into a victory. The league 0| head has ordered replayed part of the ten-inning game of May 28, in which the Reds beat the Pirates, 4 to 3. Manager Gibson declared that Luque, pitching for the Reds, while in a _tem- per, threw the ball toward the Reds’ dugout and that Barnhardt of the Pi- rates was thrown out while trying for third, after the ball was interfered with by a visiting player on the .| bench. Gibson protested, claiming a block- ed ball. The protest has been sustain- ed, and just before the schedule game jof June 30, the Pirates will go to bat 1/and the Reds to the fleld with the score tied 3-all in the last half of the eighth and two out.
